NEMO Equipment - Dragonfly Bikepack OSMO 1P

I have the Nemo Dragonfly OSMO Bikepacking tent 1p and I love it. Come with a stuff rack meant to strap to your handlebars or wherever you like. I mount it to a cage on my seat stay. That said, if the Durston X Dome was out I think I would have went for that. $150 less in price and everyone seems to be loving it.

I used to work at a camping store: msr has shot down in the quality of their tents about 5 years back. I personally own a nemo dragonfly 1 bikepack and i love it. 0 complaints. If you know anything about gear development their swap to osmo fabric is insane. You get significantly less stretch when wet due to the change in fibers silocone nylon i think.

The dagger is a nice tent but not one I’d be comfortable using with a dog. It’s still going to be well over $300 even on a Black Friday sale, and a dog’s nails can slice through the floor. There are plenty of Amazon tents that are kinda light, for around 100 bucks that will do. I recommend the Featherstone Granite 2P. I have a Nemo Dragonfly and it was more of a splurge purchase. I love the tent but it’s not 3-4x better then the Featherstone.

I took my Nemo Dragonfly on the JMT the year of atmospheric rivers and survived a nasty storm at guitar lake that caused mudslides and shut down access to all the roads on the east of Mt Whitney. That being said I’m renting a tent when I do the O trek next year…

At 5’7” I can very much recommend a Nemo 1P. My choice was the Hornet Osmo (Elite if you can afford) - Super light, very durable and roomy for my height. Depending on pack size, can usually slide inside the vestibule (fly) or at a pinch inside the bottom end of the tent.

I really like my Nemo osmo (idk which one it is rn) it’s super light, super tiny and held up fine in a light 20 minutes hailstorm. The rain fly is so thin you can see your hand through it but it definitely works.

I have the marmot 6p tent and it's a fantastic tent. Here is my experience with it. - solid construction with metal poles and ykk zippers - with the full rain fly down, makes the tent highly wind resistant and let's the tent stay warm. My wife actually loves this as she runs cold. - no issues with condensation. It is a double wall tent with air vents at the top. - easy to set up and take down, remember you have to stake the tent first before hooking up the poles. - it's seam sealed so very good rain protection - marmot offers a life time warranty. - I'm 6'2 and I can stand in the tent and not touch the roof. I did a lot of research before getting this tent and I have no buyers remorse. That being said, I have a nemo backpacking tent and I can say that nemo is also a fantastic brand. They make good tents and also have lifetime warranty. Honestly I'd also buy the Aurora in a heart beat. For me it would be whichever one was cheaper.
